Resum
The Gévora Fm widely outcrops in the core of the La Codosera-Puebla de Obando Synform. It is a slaty succession with interbedded sandstones, olistoliths, limestones and diabases. The Gévora Formation and interbedding limestones have been previously correlated with several Devonian formations; however, our biostratigraphical results indicate a Visean age for this Formation. Two slate samples (P2 and P5, located between the Alburquerque and Puebla de Obando villages), have yielded miospore assemblages from Visean age, and of middle/late Visean - upper Visean age, respectively. Futhermore, a limestone sample (C1, La Calera Limestone, located Northwest of La Codosera village) have yielded a conodont assemblage of late early Visean - Serpukhovian age. In addition, a second limestone sample (C2, San Antonio Limestone) contains conodonts of Tournaisian - Serpukhovian age. These data, together with facies similarity, lead us to include the Gévora Formation in the Mississippian «Culm of Pedroches» flysch succession. In fact, La Codosera-Puebla de Obando Synform is the western prolongation of the vast Carboniferous outcrop in Pedroches. These Carboniferous outcrops are bounded to the North by the Puente Génave-Castelo de Vide Shear Zone, which has been recently proposed as the boundary between the Domain of the Schist-Greywacke Complex and a ‘southern Central Iberian domain’ which exhibits a distinctive geology.
